It seems not to connect

[gonzalocasas]

There seems to be a few problems. The message saying "failed to start" sounds like you have the wrong pin number for reset. This is especially likely since you mention the ch2i board which uses yet a different pin for this. Then, I don't see the ttn servers in the initialization, which almost for sure means something went wrong with your remote config and it's not being taken into account.

Hi again @svenpetersen1965! Regarding the second issue I mentioned, I think you haven't really created a pull request to add your configuration to the remote repository. I see you forked it, but I can't find any commits or pull requests from you.

[svenpetersen1965]

Thank you, Gonzalo, great hints. I have rewired the SX_Reset on my board and now, things look much different. I have also made a pull request and now I can see my json in the list. The LEDs on the iC880a also look different (now only the rightmost green is on - the antenna jack are "up and backwards"). I have registered my gateways on TTN yesterday and I only get a "not connected".

I am not sure, if the firewall configuration might be the problem (I cannot influence it, here).

What I get now looks like this:

I just see this "action 17 suspended", which I don't know, what to think about it and olso the "PUSH_DATA datagrams sent: 1 (254 bytes)" and "PUSH_DATA acknowledged: 0.00%". Could it be the firewall?

[gonzalocasas]

Hi Sven! Definitely looking much better! The firewall could be a problem indeed. Do you have a way to test without it just to verify? Maybe setting up a hotspot with your mobile? In any case, could you paste a longer chunk of the logfile, especially the part where it initializes?

Hi Gonzalo, great news: Now I get a connect. I just set up my mobile as a hotspot, so I know, it is matter of the firewall. Thank you so much, you have made my day! Great support.

@svenpetersen1965: glad to hear it works! cool!
